The former U.S. Open champion, who has only played four
matches this year, had surgery in the United States on Thursday.
"Juan Martin Del Potro has withdrawn from the Championships 2015
due to recent wrist surgery," the All England Club said in a
statement.
Australian Marinko Matosevic replaces the Argentine, who was a
semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 2013, in the singles draw.

Potro was semi-finalist in 2013)
